I am still in denial as to how PERFECT my wedding weekend was thanks to Shelby and Charlie. Shelby truly listened to everything my husband and I wanted for our wedding and made it ...
come to life. She made us and all of our guests feel like family and ensured everyone was happy and comfortable. There can be many challenges with a destination / multiple event wedding weekend but thankfully I did not have to endure any because Shelby handled it all! From group bookings, transportation, florals, DJs, etc. and working with our hotel wedding coordinator it all went so smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better planner and wedding weekend.
I’ve been trying to find the right words to truly describe how amazing Shelby and her team are and it’s pretty much impossible. The only way I can think to appropriately express wh...
at a game changer booking Simply Classic Events is as a bride would be through a love letter to Shelby herself so buckle up future clients. This is worth the read.
Shelby,
From the moment we met 3 years ago in that little restaurant for our first consultation in 2019 I knew I was in the right hands. Your professionalism and confidence are unquestionable and every fear or concern I had about my vision coming to life for Jimmy and I’s special day, was gone within the first 10 minutes of our meeting. You were making suggestions I had not even considered and took my dream to the next level. I knew I had found the right planner.
From curating a guest list to finding the right vendors; floral design, dress shopping, EVERYTHING… you had it all under control and in sight before it was even on my radar. Fast forward to the week of our initial wedding- the dreaded Covid shut down- and you were right by my side, always a step ahead.
What could have been one of the most stressful experiences of my life (having my wedding of 200+ shut down the week of) you were my rock and my literal sanity throughout the entire process. Finding an elopement back up within days, renegotiating contracts, doing all of the heavy work so I should just focus on what was most important- marrying the love of my life on our original wedding date.
Now fast forward to this past year- rescheduling and completely planning a SECOND wedding for us! Covid mandates were gone and it was time to throw us the party we had originally wanted. Except this time I made you change everything. Including the venue. Did you kill me? No! You were the most supportive hype girl I could have asked for! You found us our little escape in Ensenada. The perfect venue for a Corona Couple getting to step into the sun after 2 years of shutdowns. This time I let you run wild on design and for those of you still reading this review---I HIGHLY suggest you give Shelby and her team full design control. I had no idea what color scheme, florals, table settings, nothing. I just gave you a budget and you curated the most magical wedding day I have ever seen. If you had told me 6 months ago I would cry over the flowers you prepared for me, I would have laughed… but instead.. FULL ON BAWLING! I didn’t think it was possible to audibly gasp in awe of your talent but it happened, multiple times.
All of this to say… thank you. Thank you Shelby for being the most talented, amazing, supportive, professional wedding planner and for putting your heart and soul into creating our dream wedding. My only complaint is now I don’t get to talk to you weekly.
For those of you considering booking Simply Classic Events- Do it. It will be the best decision you have ever made.
Love, The Bowermans
Shelby and her team absolutely rocked our last-minute COVID micro-wedding. We were planning a destination wedding in San Diego from New York with a couple weeks notice- all we gave...
her was a couple of ideas and she took the rest from there. From coordinating all the services to putting together the most beautiful floral display- simply classic events made sure our special day went off without a hitch and with absolutely no stress. I can't say enough about how well Shelby anticipated and coordinated everything. All I had to do was show-up (and Shelby promptly brought me and my husband a glass of wine with a smile). It's like having your most fashionable bff (who also happens to be incredibly organized and also somehow super chill) plan your party- i.e. a guaranteed success.
My husband and I decided to take our honeymoon a few months after our wedding. We ended up planning nothing for our trip not only up until the wedding but even a month or more afte...
r. We were so overwhelmed with where to begin the planning we decided to have Shelby help us with all things hotels. Not only did she find us an incredible deal , but she was so knowledgeable in the different excursions we were interested in booking. It took a huge load of stress off of us and we ended up having the most incredible honeymoon at a stunning resort! She took care of everything and we will absolutely be working with her again for our future travel needs!
I’m a wedding photographer and will often travel to destinations to photograph a client’s wedding day. Simply Classic Events is a fantastic destination coordinator because of thei...
r connections, resources, and exclusive deals with venues around the country. Shelby, the owner, has great communication, is very personable, and helps the wedding day go by smoothly.
All in all I would definitely recommend these lovely girls to help plan your wedding day!

There is soooo much I can say about Shelby and her amazing team!! We got married in Puerto Vallarta, and it was the best wedding we co...
uld EVER imagine. We all know that destination or any wedding are not the easiest to plan... But with Shelby, she made it so simple and carefree!! She went ABOVE and BEYOND for our wedding. She was the boss of the resort they let her take control of everything, and we literally showed up to the best vacation and wedding we could ever ask for! Her helping us with the hotel and the few bumps we had in the road.... made it seem like nothing bad ever happened! I 1000% recommend Shelby and her team for any wedding or celebration for you! You will never regret that decision! I really really don’t know what we would have done with out her! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Shelby we love you and will always be so grateful for all you have done for us!!! .

Shelby is what I can only describe as a fairly godmother. In less than 8 weeks, she pulled off one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever seen. Friends, family and guests were proclaiming as much, saying it looked like something out of a magazine, and I'm still getting compliments weeks later. She shirt notice found a caterer in our budget, a dj, chairs, tables, makeup artist, etc. Everything you could possibly want in a wedding of your dreams. The food was absolutely amazing.
The decor was entirely done by Shelby herself. She turned the inside and outside of the vintage cottage we rented into a fairytale of shimmering lights and displays. She even got live butterflies that guest could hold that were displayed! Every detail was seen to, and every moment was beautiful. I was unavailable to do a tasting, and the Shelby made sure the food was impeccable. Not a single person left hungry. I have Celiac's so am gluten free by default, and Shelby made sure I had a special plate that I would not have to worry about getting sick from.
I have never met someone with such a beautiful and kind approach towards life. Her laugh was infectious, and she put me at ease immediately. Every meeting with her was akin to watching a sorcerer work. She took my vague ideas and turned them into a living dream. I would recommend Shelby to anyone. Her services were worth their weight in GOLD. I honestly can say I would have had 1/10th of the wedding I would have had if it wasn't for her. The day of the wedding was hectic. We hadn't had time to get the hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour. Shelby told me not to worry and went to the store herself. She planned for every problem and every detail. I am a very anxious person, but I can tell you that in Shelby's hands, you don't have to worry about a thing. I consider Shelby my wedding fairy godmother!
I highly recommend using Shelby! She is fun, smart and absolutely LOVES what she does, which makes her a fabulous wedding planner. Shelby is so helpful when it comes to details, ev...
en by picking the perfect purple napkins as she did for me! She is so professional, but can relate to you on a personal level, and that is comforting because us brides know how crazy it gets when it comes to planning our dream wedding! If you want to have your dream wedding come true, then hire Shelby Owens with Simply Classic Events!
